Octopus TITAN VCTs

September 2014 For use of the professional advisers only and not to be relied upon by retail clients

And you can tell it is because the whole thing looks like the small print we usually try to avoid. But there are some things we should let you know about before we get to it.

The following presentation is for investment professionals only and should not be relied upon by any other person. Information is current as at August 2014 and is sourced to Octopus Investments Limited unless otherwise stated. If this document is forwarded to another person, please ensure you’ve taken responsibility for the document under the financial promotions rules and identified yourself as the issuer.

This advertisement is issued by Octopus Investments Limited it is not a recommendation. The decision to invest (or not) should not be based on this document alone. Any decision to invest in this product should be made on the basis of the information contained in the relevant prospectus, which can be found on www.octopusinvestments.com. Do your research, talk to our experts and make an informed decision. Octopus accepts no liability for any direct, indirect or consequential losses arising from decisions to act or not act based solely on this document.

All statements and opinions are current at the date of publication and may not be applicable thereafter. They are based on our analysis of data that we believe to be objective and reliable. However, we accept no liability in respect to its completeness and accuracy (except where incompleteness or inaccuracy is caused by gross negligence or fraud). We try to avoid conjecture – neither past performance nor forecasts are a reliable indicator of future results. Your capital is at risk and you may not get back the full amount invested.

VCT shares are likely to have higher volatility and liquidity risk than other types of shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange Official List.

Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change. The availability of tax reliefs also depends on the companies a VCT invests in maintaining their qualifying status. HM Revenue & Customs may change the rules on VCT tax relief in the future.

These can change and are not guaranteed. Investors’ capital is at risk, the value of shares can go down as well as up and they may not get back the full amount invested.

Nothing in this document should be regarded as constituting legal, taxation, investment or other advice. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own professional advisers before contemplating any investment.
